Brooklyn based designer Jeff Ramsey created these beautiful and functional canvas tote bags. My favorite is the Misc. pictured here. The bags are screen-printed on natural colored canvas. You can order one of these lovely bags on Jeff’s site.

2011 Calendar Wallpapers
**Update** If you’ve downloaded the wallpapers, please download them again. I fixed an issue with the numbers being misaligned.
A lot of you have been asking about this year’s wallpaper, and I finally got around to getting it done. This year the full calendar is broken up into 3 wallpapers. Each one has 4 months and the colors get darker as the year progresses. As expected, I went with a simple design with more of a focus on the months and I’ve continued the multi-language theme. It comes in only one size: 1920×1200. I hope you enjoy it.

Invesco Perpetual Book by Browns
Creative consultancy Browns was kind enough to send me photos of their latest project: a limited edition book for Invesco Perpetual featuring beautiful photos by Magnum photographer Donovan Wylie. I’m a big fan of photos spanning across two pages, it really enhances the experience, especially when the images are this stunning. The vertical lines is also a nice touch, they reveal the underlying grid.
Here’s what Browns had to say about the book:
Working closely with photographer Donovan Wylie/Magnum, Browns have produced and designed a new limited edition book for Invesco Perpetual.
The resulting imagery from the shoot becomes part of Invesco’s image library and is used across all of their communications collateral.
This iconic flat top mountain was used by Browns when redesigning the Invesco global Identity in 2008.
I posted all of the high-res images of the book on Flickr.
Ben Jennings
Keeping with the Aussie theme, the work of Ben Jennings has recently caught my eye, specifically this business card he designed as part of an identity for Top Shelf. I absolutely love the attention to detail here, with the blind print and the thin line of color in the card stock. The type is set in Farnham and printed on Stephen – Smart White (330gsm ×2) / Curious Metallic – Bronze Ore (250gsm).
Les Mason: Epicurean Magazine 1966–1979
This is a stunning limited edition publication designed by Australian designer, Dominic Hofstede. The booklet features covers and spreads of Epicurean Magazine designed by Art Director Les Mason.
Hofstede created a simple and elegant layout for the book, and the light tan pages with orange text is superb. You can see more images at Recollection or pick up a copy at The Narrows.
Page Magazine
I’ve never heard Page Magazine before, but I stumbled upon on it and it’s mesmerized by its wonderful design. Most magazines today are a chaotic mess of advertisements and poorly designed articles, all battling each other for prominence. It’s refreshing to see such a simple and beautiful approach.
The magazine seems to be designed by Mexican agency, Face. There are a bunch of detailed photos of the mag at this Behance gallery.
